Maldives Highlights

10 days

from £2,500pp (excluding flights)

When visiting somewhere like the Maldives the devil is in the detail. Yes, there are masses of islands to choose from but the saying 'you get what you pay for' is never truer than in the Maldives.

Learn to dive in warm water, it’s so much easier.

Relax, there isn’t much to do but read a book, swim and enjoy the spa – heaven

Take advantage of an all-inclusive resort, when it’s of a high standard it is money well spent.

Do visit a local island to discover more about Maldivian culture

Go out on an early evening cruise, glass of champagne in hand as the sun goes down

For this classic holiday we’ve suggested Constance Moofushi for its incredibly high standard of all inclusive and sublime house reef. A 40 minute seaplane transfer from Male brings guests to a haven of relaxed peace and informal, yet stylish accommodation.

Spend a few days snorkelling and a few nights enjoying the fresh food and cocktails. If you prefer to have a change of scene then split your time between two islands, in this case Cocoa Island by COMO, a totally different concept from Moofushi but of a similar high standard. With only overwater villas and just the one restaurant Cocoa is quiet and private or further afield the newly opened Maalifushi by COMO.

The islands clients choose really comes down to personal preference and the type of atmosphere they prefer, large with more facilities and possibly family friendly or smaller and more intimate. We’ve noted our favourite, handpicked resorts on our Maldives accommodation page but our Maldives specialists will be delighted to discuss the different options.

Destination Experts

Our experts have unrivalled firsthand knowledge of Maldives

Joe Parkes, Travel Expert

"It was extremely helpful to work in conjunction with Joe and his much more up to date knowledge of India and arrive at an itinerary which we were happy with. We enjoyed the whole trip and probably what made it special for us was the fact that all the arrangements worked so well and we really didn’t have to worry about anything at all. Even when we decided to make a small change it was dealt with efficiently and promptly. We can't think of anything that would have made our trip more enjoyable."

"The service from start to finish has been excellent. Joe was very quick to respond to any queries and put together an excellent itinerary at short notice."

Kate Hitchen, Travel Expert

"Kate was calm and bent over backwards to accommodate my jitters about going to Kashmir in the light of tighter FCO guidelines just a few days before our departure. She was absolutely correct in advising against what I thought we should do. Several times during the holiday we said that, 'Kate was dead right about that!'."

"We asked for a rather particular kind of Indian holiday. You delivered it in full. Highlights? Honestly, each day was a highlight in itself. "
